The Cost-Cutting Continues.......

[Vegas Seagull]

Perhaps he wasn't very good at his job....

And as he was the manager & the deputy was better AND cheaper then....
Many a time I've sacked managers and called the assistant manager 'manager' on less pay & the customers are none the wiser

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I've decided to cut my pie and Guinness intake by half. We are doomed despite this courageous decision on my part

 

[Goldstone1976]

Fair point. I think if we announced Messi and Ronaldo signing on Monday, there'd be complaints that they don't have Championship experience!

yep, and that CR7 is definitely past it - "you only have to look at how badly he played in the WC"!

I thought that it was a good idea to be frugal. I'm obviously wrong, we should fritter.

Of course. Perhaps we could cut costs a bit more and increase PB's bonus to 250k

If only you'd've posted this before you'd've posted this.

I thought there had been an uproar on this type of employment opportunity and candidates successfully reclaimed wages they should have been paid.

Are you being sarcastic or sardonic?

I can never tell the difference.

Leaning strongly towards sarcastic with a subtle kafkaesque flavour.

'Was' Matt the chap who warmed up the players pre-match? He sort of disappeared mid-way through last season

I think that was Matt 'Stretch' Miller.

I think that was Matt 'Stretch' Miller.

It was. He left after being reduced to a water carrier with Oscar's team. He's now started his own business.

Thanks. I take it he was deemed expendable and offed to fund someone's bonus. Ho hum...

...tucked away in Tuesdays paper edition Argus and not on-line Albions sport science manager Matt Springham has left to join Brentford whilst we advertise for a sports science 'volunteer' for a season long placement on £500 a month expenses!!

If so I'm disappointed. I have a particularly problem with such "internships" because they are rife in my industry. With the exception of work experience linked to a college course, you are either working or not. If you are working you should be paid.

There is absolutely no in between.

I just hope they don't sack the electrician. They'll be no-one left to turn the lights out!
